Needed a major haircut, and this little gem was worth it. Friendly staff, convenient and quiet…read morelocation. Cute decor and plants. They were able to squeeze me in, and my hairstylist Savannah did a great job. She took the extra time to style and blow dry my hair (which not many stylists do, since I have very thick hair). Will definitely be back!

This has go to be one of the cutest hair salons I've had the pleasure of visiting…read more I was in Anniston, AL for my cousin's wedding just a few weekends ago, and as part of the wedding day, she took all the ladies in the bridal party to the salon to get their hair done before the ceremony. We arrived at Studio Elite right around 11:30 AM and there were 7 or 8 of us that were getting made up. The owner of the studio met us at the front door and ushered us in to one of the larger rooms in her salon, where she'd set out a spread of cinnamon buns, homemade chicken salad sandwiches, water and lemonade and other goodies for us to nibble on as we waited our turn. It was so nice. And the whole experience was a lot of fun - women just sitting around talking and gossiping about anything and everything as we took turns. When she got to my hair, I told her to do whatever she saw fit with it (it's naturally very curly), and so she tamed it in the front with a flat iron then pinned it up in the back with several hundred bobby pins making it into one of those artfully messy updos that are so stylish and impossible to recreate on your own. It looked sensational. The best part was that at the wedding that night I was one of the few whose hair had stayed where it was originally styled (many of my straight-haired friends had lost some of the volume and curl they'd had hours earlier).

Growing up, I found it very difficult to find a hairstylist who wouldn't make me feel ashamed about how thick my hair is or how awkward I am as a person who struggles with social anxiety. With Amanda everything goes so smoothly, she remembers what topics I like to discuss when I come in & if I just feel like listening to music instead she's accommodating.
